introduction
Bonjour! Thanks for having
signed up for this little guide
of French for movies and TV
series (and real life!).
When watching French movies and TV
series, I'm sure you will have noticed
that you often struggle to make sense
of what people are saying. In many
cases, this hasn't got so much to do
with your level of French as with the
fact that the French language itself
has three main levels and you are not
being taught the "low level", also
called "Familiar French."
Happy watching,
Lisiane
PS. Please note that * means slightly vulgar or offensive and **means very vulgar or offensive
